4. After the tools are installed, devkitARM must now be made accessible from anywhere by the system. To do so, run the following commands:

```bash
export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
echo "export DEVKITPRO=$DEVKITPRO" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export DEVKITPRO=$DEVKITPRO" >> ~/.bashrc # Intel Macs
echo "export DEVKITPRO=$DEVKITPRO" >> ~/.zshrc # Apple Silicon (M1) Macs
